Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Wow, sad that someone would do such a thing. Glad the Leos are in better hands now, sorry that you had to deal with a seller like that.

I have all of the screenshots of the attack the seller made on the facebook page, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add them here. The main point was that the seller, having seen a couple of the bad reviews the buyer gave her, posted a bad review of the buyer on a facebook page she knew the buyer wasn't a member of. The seller only posted excerpts from the convos to paint the buyer in a bad light. Then the buyer was alerted to the post and added the entire set of original conversation screenshots, and the seller quit posting and deleted the thread. The seller (had she been a good one) should have refunded the price of the gecko that had the deformities, and paid to have it returned should she desire that. This leo should have been sold/ given to a pet only home. The mistake that the seller made was thinking that the buyer was a newbie collector that would not question the morals of a "breeder". One can't expect to remain a substantial member of the leopard gecko community by treating customers this way.

I did some searching online to see if anyone else had seen geckos with wrinkles like that and the majority seem to agree that it's either 1. incubation/genetic related or 2. a sign of dehydration. Usually if leos are dehydrated though the eyes are sunken in, something I couldn't tell by the picture, so I'm going with option 1. And I agree, the gecko is way skinnier than she appeared in the picture.
Either way, this should have been disclosed to you long before they were shipped, especially since they were going to be used in a breeding project. There are instances when things like this go unnoticed, but they should still be disclosed no matter how small or big. Personally, I think you should have gotten a refund then and there the moment you found the skin under the chin, but that's just me.

Thus far, it sure appears that way.
This failure, plus her actions after sale, will only serve in hurting her reputation. If a bad reputation is what the seller wishes, then so be it.
However, it is a shame that , via the seller's failure, you end up losing out on a remedy.
